Can’t speak on prison, but I spent 9 months in county jail in Kansas. I was in a pod that had 24 beds, but usually had sub 20 population most of the time. Single blade orange plastic disposable razors were provided once a week in a plastic tray 30 minutes after breakfast at 6 am. The number of razors were the exact amount of prisoners in the pod. You had an hour to shave. All razors had to be returned to the tray which would be collected by a guard. If a razor was not returned to the tray or was thrown in the trash guards would toss the pod. This never happened as most people ate their breakfast and went to bed immediately and few actually shaved.
